Macao Science Center is proud to present an all-new dome show “The Life of Trees” at the Planetarium starting from Saturday, August 1.

“The Life of Trees” is an entertaining and educational full dome show. The two quirky animated characters: a ladybug called Dolores and a firefly called Mike will be the teachers, and share what they learn from school to the audience. They will explain how they transport water against gravity to the top of the crown, and how photosynthesis works and how trees enabled diverse life on earth by producing oxygen. Dolores and Mike together with their other insect friends will lead audience to an adventurous journey, exploring the world from the view of an insect.

This dome show has received a number of awards from dome festivals around the world, including “Best Fulldome show Second Prize” and “Science, Art & Culture Award” at Russian Fulldome Festival 2013, and “Best Visuals & Graphics” at Imiloa Fulldome Film Festival 2013. “The Life of Trees” is available in both ultra high definition and 3D versions that are suitable for audience of all ages.

In addition, as part of the “Starry Night” astronomical activity series, the planetarium has scheduled a public lecture on light pollution on August 1 at 5:15pm. The lecture shall give an overview on how light pollution affects our health and the environment. Through the powerful database and the projection effect of the planetarium, audiences may appreciate the beauty of the night sky after lights are turned off. The public lecture is free of charge, but visitors are required to get a ticket from the ticketing office.

To encourage the public to visit the Macao Science Center during summer vacation, the Center is open daily in July and August from 10am - 6pm. Please visit our website at www.msc.org.mo for details.
